The Peer Tree
The Peer Tree offers private-pay support options for people and families navigating hoarding and clutter. Ask about current service formats, location, and rates.
A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
When clutter, safety, or a difficult next step is weighing on you or someone you care about, you do not have to begin with a cleanout. Start with a respectful conversation about what matters most, what feels urgent, and which choices should remain with the person affected.
Start here - Fight the Blight
Fight the Blight is the nonprofit entry point for hoarding-related support and virtual groups. This review did not verify a local hoarding-specialty clinician, dedicated hoarding peer group, or hoarding-specific cleanout provider; that is an evidence limit, not proof none exist. The other listings are general community, health, and safety pathways—not endorsements or claims of hoarding expertise. Ask about fit, coverage, cost, eligibility, intake, and timing before making plans.
Fight the Blight offers a respectful first conversation and virtual support groups for people affected by hoarding and clutter concerns. Ask what is currently available and what may fit your situation.
Role: nonprofit hoarding-support and virtual-group entry point; geography: ask about Hill County and online options; cost/eligibility: confirm current group fit, schedule, and availability; emergency limit: not therapy or emergency response.
If anyone is in immediate danger, facing a fire, or needs urgent medical help, call 911. For behavioral-health crisis support in Montana, call or text 988. These services do not replace emergency response. This guide is informational, not clinical, legal, emergency, or government advice.

A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Havre, Montana, and includes city, county, state, nonprofit, national, and independent pathways. A listing here does not mean Fight the Blight endorses every provider or can guarantee availability. The Hoarding Alliance is not a city or county agency, therapy practice, emergency service, or cleanup company. We will keep reviewing this page, but please confirm details directly before relying on them.
